Autumn is time for tailgating parties, and packing lunches. Just as important as balancing flavors and proper nutrition, food safety should be a primary consideration. Storing and transporting foods even for short periods of time can be hazardous if proper care is not taken.
Germs like to grow in warm, moist places, between 45°F and 140°F, commonly known as the "DANGER ZONE." Most germs grow best between room temperature and body temperature. To keep germ growth to a minimum, food should be stored below 40°F, and optimally served cold, or heated to at least 165°F. Which means, even in cool weather, pack cold items in a cooler with plenty of cold packs or ice. And transport hot items for a VERY short period of time, making sure they are reheated to at least 165°F before serving. If you plan to serve food at room temperature, it is imperative to serve it within two hours.

Finsky Maxim Valeryevich
Maxim Finsky (born 25 March 1966) graduated from Moscow Institute of Finance with a degree in finance and lending.
1993-1995 chairman of the board of a private bank called Moscow Bank for Development and Reconstruction
1995-1998 chairman of the board of United Regional Bank
1998-2001 first deputy chairman of the board of International Company for Finance and Investment, or MFK, a private bank
2001-2008 deputy director general of Mining and Metallurgical Company Norilsk Nickel Open JSC
In 2005, Finsky received a degree in Law from the University of International Relations Ministry in St Petersburg
In September 2008, he became the president of Mining and Metallurgical Company Intergeo.
As of 2011, his wealth was estimated $360 million.
He is married to Vlada Verevko, born in 1982. Verevko won a Miss European Beauty pageant, held in the city of Velikiye Luki in 2002.

In 2000-2001, the media linked Finsky with the Incombank fraud, though his role was to counteract the fraudsters. Troubled Incombank was a Ponzi-like scheme. Shortly before the bank's collapse, its funds were being taken to offshore companies. When the debt of the bank exceeded $ 4 billion, the lenders established a debt recovery committee. They invited representatives of Rosbank, who acted as debt collectors and pushed the debtor to pay.
Finsky, first deputy chairman of MFK bank, invited all directors general of Incombank's daughter companies, through which the assets of Incombank had been stripped off, to bring back the funds. They were appointed consultants at Incombank, which enabled Minsky to control them and to prevent further asset stripping machinations. Within nine months, Finsky resolved the debt crisis in Incombank and proved that proper bankruptcy could bring profit. He supervised over 60 legal actions and pushed Incombank to pay almost all debts.

In 2001, Maxim Finsky gave up boring banking and got close to oligarchs Potanin and Prokhorov. The same year they established Norilsk Nickel. Finsky was in charge of buying gold mines in September 2003. Finsky was bidding for 45% of Russia's Lenzolo, a gold processing enterprise with discovered reserves of 1100 tons of gold. Bidders fought hard, with proposal reaching $152 million, five times higher than the initial price and 240 times higher than the lowest bid. Base element, Sovlink and Russian oil major Nafta-Moscow lost to Polyus, a daughter company of Norilsk Nickel.
Finsky concealed the fact that Polyus was linked to Prokhorov and Potanin, according to the reports. But at the meeting, Finsky boasted about his successful deal, unnamed insider source said.

Friendship with Prokhorov, embroiled in the prostitute scandal, affected Finsky's way of life. Max Finsky enjoyed Prokohorov's company in Courchevel upscale ski resort, to where Prokhorov flew in beautiful woman from Russia.
On 31 July 2004, Finsky married Vlada Verevko. The couple decided to hold their wedding in a historic estate of Russain tsars - village of Tsaritsino, which is a state protected territory. The groom's best man was his boss, head of Norilsk Nickel Prokhorov. The event was secret, journalist not allowed in.
Anonymous friend of Maxim Finsky revealed the details of the wedding reception. More than 150 policemen guarded the guests, double-checking every car entering Tsaritsino, which was closed for public during the event.
So-called chill out area was located in newly restored Guards Wing of the tsar's palace. Leather sofas were brought in, and sitting on them one could enjoy the company of beautiful ballet dancers. There was also a casino called Las Vegas with luxury car as a first price. There were governor of the Tver Region Zelenin with his wife, governor of Krasnoyarsk Region Khloponin, former speaker of the State Duma Seleznev, deputy head of Moscow City legislature Bocharov, and Baibakov among the guests.
However, only 400 people out of the two thousand invited came to nuptials, worth $2 million of unpaid taxes. Even Finsky and Prokhorov's companion Potanin did not risk his reputation and did not come.

In 2007, Mikhail Prokhorov quitted as director general of Norilsk Nickel after the prostitution scandal in Courchevel. Potanin and Prokhorov decided to divide their assets. Meanwhile, Finsky was still a senior manager of Norilsk Nickel. Finsky was a man of Prokhorov and helped him to seize the gold-related assets. At Norilsk Nickel he supervised the process of getting licenses and developing newly discovered resources. In 2008, the shareholders of Norilsk Nickel expressed concerns about his activities, suspecting fraud. According to Finsky's scheme, Potanin's Interros Holding bought licenses for mining, while Norilsk Nickel funded the development of mines, whereas different daughter prospecting companies and Finsky's Intergeo controlled the mines. Later on Finsky admitted to helping Mikhail Prokhorov. In fact, it was Prokhorov who designed the scheme. Prokhorov promised that the daughter prospecting companies and mines would go to Norilsk Nickel, but instead of that they went to Prokhorov, together with Finsky's Intergeo company. Prokhorov seized even those mines, which were bought after the split of Onexim and Interros.

In January 2012, Canadian gold mining company White Tiger Gold, which had been bought by Finsky, secured $150 million loan from VTB. The bank announced its approval of the loan in December 2011. The loan was secured against the shares of Russian companies that own White Tiger Gold.
The funds are intended for expanding the mining capacities of the company in the region near Lake Baikal by 7.5 times.

Hi, I'm new to the boating world and just purchased my first boat. My new boat is a Qwest 820 LS splash pad tritoon. The length of the boat is approx 21 feet. The motor is an Evinrude 150hp HO. So far I've only been able to get the RPM's up to 5000 running wide open throttle. The recommended WOT RPM range is 5300-6000. I have had the boat up to 45 mph according to my GPS on fish finder. I'm happy with the speed as I was told by the salesman that it would probably do about 43 mph. My question is should I ask about getting a different prop to get the RPM's up. When I first drove the boat I didn't trim the motor at all during WOT and it was trimmed all the way down. I could only get up to 39 MPH 4800 rpm's with the motor trimmed all the way down. The second time I ran the boat I gradually trimmed the motor up during WOT and climbed up to 45 mph at 5000 rpm's. I was able to repeat this same run multiple times with the same results. My current prop is a stainless steel, three blade, rebel. I don't know the diameter or pitch. Would the boat go even faster if I was able to increase RPM's to the upper range of the recommended motor output during WOT? Or would it just perform better as far as hole shot? I have a hard time believing this boat would go much faster than 45mph. It's probably not designed for that anyway. Thanks!
5000 is too low an rpm for full throttle on your engine.
If you could find out the size of your Rebel prop, we could offer suggestions for better performance. My guess is that the 15" Rebel should work fairly well but if more rpm is needed, then a 15" SSP would be bring the rpms up.
For a pontoon boat it is better to choose a propeller that turns near the top of the rpm chart,to allow for rpm loss when you bring a large number of people on board and all their gear.
Thanks for your input. I just want to make sure before I ask the dealer to bring another prop out. I will try and find out the prop size and pitch.
The prop is a 15 1/2 x 17.
If your Rebel 17" turns about 5000 rpm, a Rebel 15" may get up to about 5400 rpm which still is not enough. Are you sure you are trimming as high as you can without letting the prop catch air and lose its grip?
To get some more rpms, the SSP 15" may be the way to go or possibly a Viper 15" or 16". See if you can try several props to find out which gets the rpms near the top of the operating range plus gives good speed. Propping is trial and error most of the time.
the following links are test reports on a pontoon boats similar in speed to yours.


Most Japanese expats in Vietnam are quick to settle in and find a lot to like.
While Ms. Kaku and Ms. Kami have had language difficulties while living in Vietnam, office worker Ms. Yamamoto Ohio has been in Vietnam for eight years and remembers that when she first moved here it was the traffic that concerned her. She even had trouble crossing the street. "I felt that everything was moving too quickly and that drivers seemed like they wanted to crash into me," she laughed. Eight years on, the traffic is no longer a problem and she hopes to live here for quite some time.
Not only Japanese but most other foreigners living and working in Vietnam have common difficulties in the language and the traffic, but after a while adapt and love Vietnam more and more.
As well as friendly people, Vietnam also boast a multitude of delectable food that most foreigners love, such as "pho", "bun cha", and "banh my" (bread). Mr. Suzuki Kawajiri has lived in Hanoi for two years and said Vietnamese food made a strong impression on him as soon as he arrived. "There's plenty of choice, including cheap and high-end food, and they're all delicious," he said. He has a special fondness for Hoi An bread and also egg coffee, which he drinks in the Old Quarter. When he sips on a cup of coffee on the weekend and looks around, he finds Hanoi to be quite peaceful.
Another attractive feature of Vietnam for many Japanese is its beautiful scenery. "Vietnam also has different habits and customs, which stoke my curiosity," Ms. Kaku said. "I love Sapa with its cold weather and Dao children, and the peace of Hoi An." She hopes to live in Vietnam for a long time and explore its culture and visit famous destinations.
Many long-term Japanese expats say the cost of living in Vietnam is more reasonable than elsewhere in the region, including Ms. Ohio, whose salary more than covers her needs. There are different options to choose from, she said, depending on need and cost.
More foreigners have been coming to Vietnam recently, especially Japanese and South Koreans, as the country pulls in more investment. The Japanese have created large communities in main cities, with most Hanoians thinking of Kim Ma Street, Linh Lang Street, and Dao Tan Street in Ba Dinh district as having many Japanese people. There's also a Vietnamese-Japanese Cultural Center on Nui Truc Street, off Kim Ma, where people can study the Japanese language, and the Embassy of Japan is on Lieu Giai Street, off Kim Ma and near Dao Tan and Linh Lang.
The number of Japanese living in Ho Chi Minh City is also rising and Japanese culture is even more easily found than in Hanoi. "Little Japan", an area bounded by Le Thanh Ton, Ngo Van Nam, Thai Van Lung, Thi Sach, and Hai Ba Trung Streets in District 1, and Japan Oishi Town are the two biggest and are popular among Japanese and Vietnamese alike.

This recipe is a French variation on Japanese chazuke which, essentially, is half rice bowl, half tea. My take is meant to symbolize the transition from winter into spring. The tea represents the melting snow, bamboo rice is the green shoots, and mushrooms are…well, the mushrooms. You don't need to be as theatrical as I am though. This dish is super customizable and great for using up whatever you have lying around the kitchen. It's best served with leftover rice, but freshly cooked is fine. If using leftover rice, make sure you reheat it in the microwave otherwise it will cool down the dish. Green tea is traditionally poured over the rice, but you can use other mild, non-black teas. For more flavor use chicken, vegetable, or in my case, mushroom broth. The topping options are endless: eggs, fish, pickles, beans, leftover veggies, herbs, sauces…the fridge is your limit! Enjoy as a snack, lite dinner, or complete meal.
Place the dried porcini mushrooms in a bowl or a Pyrex measuring cup, and pour over 3 cups boiling water. Let sit for 30 minutes. Set a strainer over a bowl.
Meanwhile, remove stems from mushrooms and thinly slice the caps. If you don't have leftover rice, now is the time to cook some.
Melt the butter in a pot. If using the optional vegetables, cook until tender. Add the mushrooms and cook until they begin to soften. Add reconstituted porcini and it's liquid. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until soft. Taste the broth and season with salt as needed.
Set a strainer over a pitcher or bowl. Strain the mushrooms out and set aside.
Spoon fresh cooked or re-heated leftover rice into bowl. Top with cooked mushrooms and pour over mushroom tea. Add an egg, chicken, or tofu for added protein if you wish. Freeze any leftover stock to use in soups, sauces, or for cooking more rice!
Substitute mushroom tea with green tea. Top with salmon, dried seaweed (nori), and roasted sesame seeds.
Substitute mushroom tea with chicken broth. Top with chicken, black beans, corn, and cherry tomatoes.

Chelsea LittleNovember 24, 2015
Norway's TV2 says it has found out that Estonian cross-country skier Kristina Smigun is likely to be stripped of her 2006 Olympic gold medals; national and international federations seem happy to discuss, but the IOC will not. Meanwhile, a Norwegian Paralympian alleges Russians had separate (and comically short) doping control tests at the 2014 Olympics.

Chelsea LittleNovember 9, 2015
In confirming the lurid details of a state-sponsored doping scandal in Russian track and field, WADA's Dick Pound made clear, "We don't think that Russia is the only country with a doping problem, or that athletics is the only sport with a doping problem." He also discussed how results from the 2014 Olympics in Sochi may be tainted, and said there is likely doping in cross-country skiing and biathlon.
GeneralNewsGiven the Crime, Are Proposed Sanctions Enough? Tygart Weighs In
GENEVA, Switzerland— After revelations that there was widespread, systematic doping in Russian track and field, a World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Independent Commission recommended that the Russian athletics federation be suspended by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). The findings were a confirmation of the worst fears for many in the sports community, and a sickening realization that suspicions had been well-founded. "It confirmed a lot of what we had heard over the last couple...

Nikolai Pankratov's reported detainment at the Swiss border made waves in the cross-country skiing community when the news broke last week. But since then, there's been barely a ripple of information to emerge from the International Ski Federation (FIS)—which, according to the Russian Anti-Doping Agency, is in charge of handling the case. What is known about Pankratov is this: according to multiple reports, the Russian cross-country skier was stopped at the Swiss border with intravenous...

The Hanover Band
HANOVER (Not Hannover; Germany) In terms of British history the majority of the music we play is from the Hanoverian period. Hanover also refers to Hanover Square in London, where Haydn performed his symphonies and arias in the Salomon Concerts in the 1790's.
BAND (ref: The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians)
'An instrumental ensemble, larger than a chamber ensemble. Thus the '24 violins' of Louis XIV were called 'la grande bande' to distinguish them from Lully's 'petits violons', and Charles II's similar ensemble was known as 'the King's Band'. By extension, 'band' came to mean an orchestra in colloquial British usage'.
THE HANOVER BAND a period name for a period orchestra.

NFL Week 10 Predictions, Picks Against the Spread
Posted by Vegas Martin in NFL Picks on November 10th, 2009 | Comment »
Vegas Martin's top 6 NFL plays from week 9 went 4-2 against the spread this past weekend, so it's good that we ended up on the winning side yet again. That is now 3-straight winning weeks and our last 4/5 weeks have been positive. Unfortunately, the top 2 plays didn't pan out, but we made up all that ground and then some when we found 2 winners at the 4:00 time slot and got another easy win on Monday night with the Steelers over the Broncos pick.
I hope anyone who took a hit on the Packers or Ravens picks boldly followed me into the 4:00 games and the Monday Night game to take back whatever was ours for the taking. New rule, never bet against a home underdog off the bye week. I have been preaching about that all season long, but failed to take my own advice. I felt the Packers over the Bucs and Ravens over the Bengals were both strong plays despite that significant factor to their disadvantage, but we learned the hard way and will not make that mistake again.
Don't forget to check out Brandon's week 11 college picks and to sign up for our Yahoo pick 'em league.
On to the week 10 NFL action to find out where we can make the easy money betting against the spread.
CHICAGO BEARS @ SAN FRANSISCO 49ERS -3
We start getting into Thursday Night football, so this is the first matchup of the week. I don't really like it. Both teams have been hard to figure out this season. Both teams were hugely disappointing last week and I advised our readers to pass on the Bears/Cardinals and 49ers/Titans game for exactly those reasons. I thought I was onto something with the Cardinals solid play on the road this season, but I had the Panthers loss fresh in my head, so I had to pass on that game last week. 72% of the money is on the 49ers to cover in this one.
I had an inkling that the Titans would defeat the 49ers last week, which is why I put that game in the "no action" category, but I wasn't about to bet on the 1-6 Titans on the road. These teams match up pretty evenly on paper, but the home/away statistics give the 49ers the edge. The Bears on the road score just 16 PPG and allow 26.5 PPG. At home, the 49ers score 23.8 PPG and allow 22.2 PPG. The most significant injury to the 49ers is CB Nate Clements. Without having a lockdown corner who can cover speedsters Devin Hester and Johnny Knox is a huge blow to the 49ers. A potential huge loss for the Bears is DT Tommy Harris, who is likely facing a suspension for his punch to a Cardinals offensive lineman. I think I threw out enough information out there for you to make your own decision on this game, but I simply don't like it as I do not see either team being a strong play. I think it's a tight game and I think Cutler has a great chance to expose the 49ers secondary, but the 49ers also have a chance to expose the Bears run defense who will be without Tommy Harris. I'm leaning towards taking the points in this one.
Prediction: Bears 23 – 49ers 20
Free Pick: Bears +3 (Confidence: 2/5) (L)
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS @ NEW YORK JETS -6.5
The Jags couldn't even cover 6.5 at home over the Chiefs. Although they were in the money the entire game until a late score cost them the cover. The Jaguars have been pretty dismal all season long and their pass defense is what has hurt them the most. I'm expecting Mark Sanchez to rebound after some recent poor performances now that he's had 14 days to go over his mistakes and prepare for a sub-par pass defense. The key factor in this pick is the Jets are at home off the bye week. We saw how home teams off the bye week faired last week, so I think the Jets cover in this one, although I believe it will be too close with the spread to make it a strong play. They may cover by a mere half point, so I don't love the game.
Prediction: Jets 24 – Jaguars 17
Free Pick: Jets -6.5 (Confidence: 3/5) (L)
BUFFALO BILLS @ TENNESSEE TITANS -6.5
The Titans are 2-0 with Vince Young, but unfortunately for their team, the move was made a few games too late. With the NFL's leading rusher against the league's worst run defense, I think this is a great game to take. The Bills surrender an average of 173.6 rushing yards per game and their offense has been pretty much non-existent as they average just 15.6 PPG. The Titans averaging 32 PPG in their last two games. I'm counting on Chris Johnson to go nuts this game and I don't think the Bills have the offense to keep up. Injuries to note: WR Justin Gage is out, WR Terrell Owens is questionable.
Prediction: Titans 24 – Bills 16
Free Pick: Titans -6.5 (Confidence: 3.5/5) (W)
DETROIT LIONS @ MINNESOTA VIKINGS -16.5
I played the Vikings -10 over the Lions earlier in the season and took down a 27-13 victory. The Vikings are another team that is at home off the bye week. Despite jumping out to a 17-3 lead, the Lions were defeated 32-20 last week against the Seahawks. With the Lions surrendering 29.6 PPG and Stafford already throwing 12 INTs on the season, I think the Vikings still cover the high spread, but the spread is just too high for me to take it. If the Lions manage to score just 2 TDs, they'll likely end up in the money. I love betting against the Lions, but the spread is just too high in this one for me to bite.
Prediction: Vikings 31 – Lions 13
Free Pick: No Action
CINCINNATI BENGALS @ PITTSBURGH STEELERS -7
With both teams at 6-2, 1st place in the AFC North is on the line. The Bengals are without a doubt, this year's biggest surprise. For a team to get 2 more wins halfway through the season than they got in the entire 2008 season is remarkable. If you recall from earlier in the season, the Bengals got the best of the Steelers the last time they played in Cincy. The Steelers had a 20-9 lead with 9 minutes left to play, but the Bengals scored 2 TDs to win the game 23-30.
Chad Ochocinco is back to his usual tactics, sending the Steelers players Heinz mustard since they won't be able to KETCH-UP. Poor idea on his part since the last thing the Bengals need is for the Steelers to get more motivation to want to stomp the Bengals after being defeated by them earlier in the season.
The Steelers are rolling and I think they win this one, but I don't like them very much with the spread. The Steelers just aren't very good against the spread this year. They are 3-5 ATS compared to the Bengals 5-3 record ATS. With a pretty even matchup on paper, I think you're better served taking the 7 points on a 6-2 team that is just as hot as the Steelers. I'm anticipating a Steelers win by 3-6 points.
Prediction: Steelers 23 – Bengals 17
Free Pick: Benglas +7 (Confidence: 2/5) (W)
DENVER BRONCOS -3.5 @ WASHINGTON REDSKINS
The Redskins are another team that I love betting against. With their team morale at a new all-time low, I think this is a good spot to bet against them. They used to have a solid defense, but once the D saw that they don't have the offense to help them out, they've pretty much given up on the season. Not only did the Redskins lose Chris Cooley, but they also lost Clinton Portis, and their back RB Betts is questionable with an ankle injury. With those injuries against a very solid Broncos defense, the Redskins will struggle to find points. The Broncos are coming off two straight losses by wide margins. My confidence has wained in them. I also hate betting on west coast teams playing east coat teams at 1:00 since history shows that the east coast home team has a significant advantage. I like the Broncos here due to their strong defense against a weak offense, but with the two straight losses making the Broncos look overrated has my confidence in them shaky at best.
Prediction: Broncos 23 – Redskins 13
Free Pick: Broncos -3.5 (Confidence: 3/5) (L)
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS -13.5 @ ST. LOUS RAMS
I wonder what our reader TGIS has to say about this one. He said he'll take any opportunity to take advantage of high spreads against the Saints in order to take the points. This is the Rams though. They give up an average of 28 PPG and only score 9 PPG. I love this spread since the Rams will likely be held to under 10 points, which means a mere 24 points will get the Saints in the money. You can basically count on the Saints to put up points every time that they touch the ball.
I already have to break my "home team off the bye week rule," which is what the Rams are, but this is the Saints vs. the Rams! Last week with the Packers and Ravens pick, at least the Packers have a suspect defense and the Bengals are a legitimate team. I think this is an exception to the rule. The league's best offense against the league's worst defense and non-existent offense. How can you say no to that? The Rams lost to the Colts 42-6 and I think you see similar results in this one. I don't see how you can pass on this one, but if you're a big believer in the "don't bet against a home dog off the bye week" rule, then this one is not for you.
Prediction: Saints 38 – Rams 10
Free Pick: Saints -13.5 (Confidence: 4/5) (L)
ATLANTA FALCONS -1.5 @ CAROLINA PANTHERS
I've been pretty high on the Falcons all season long. The Panthers have been looking better after their upset win over the Cardinals, but they couldn't top the Saints after jumping to an early lead. 92% of the public likes the Falcons and 4/5 experts are Covers.com like them too. Atlanta defeated the Panthers earlier in the year 28-20 and I think you see similar results in this one. DeAngelo Williams is also questionable for the game.
Prediction: Falcons 26 – Panthers 20
Free Pick: Falcons -1.5 (Confidence: 3/5) (L)
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS @ MIAMI DOLPHINS -9.5
The Bucs got their first win of the season last week against the Packers. The Dolphins have been really impressing me. They were able to hang in with their against the Patriots on the road and have been even more impressive at home, almost beating the Saints and Colts. Miami is averaging 31.5 PPG at home. I couldn't believe that stat when I looked it up. With the Bucs 30th ranked defense, the Dolphins should easily dominate this game, but the spread seems high to me. I like the Dolphins to cover, but the spread is too high to make it a strong play.
Prediction: Dolphins 27 – Buccaneers 17
Free Pick: Dolphins -9.5 (Confidence: 2/5) (L)
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS @ OAKLAND RAIDERS -1.5
At least one of these teams will get a win. Both teams are horrendous, but I would go with the Raiders, who will be at home off the bye week.
Prediction: Raiders 12 – Chiefs 5
Free Pick: Raiders -1.5 (Confidence: 0.5/5) (L)
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS @ ARIZONA CARDINALS -9
The Cardinals have been a very tough team to figure out. Unbelievable on the road, horrendous at home, which is the opposite of how they've played home vs. away in past years. Kurt Warner is capable of throwing 5 TDs or 5 INTs any week. Arizona defeated the Seahawks 27-3 earlier this season and that was on the road. Arizona also covered the spread both times they faced the Seahawks last year. The trend is your friend. Arizona is 3-0 ATS in their last 3 against the Seahawks. I don't see why things should be different in this one. One injury to note: WR Anquan Boldin is questionable.
Prediction: Cardinals 27 – Seahawks 17
Free Pick: Cardinals -9 (Confidence: 2.5/5) (W)
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES @ SAN DIEGO CHARGERS -2.5
The Eagles are my team as you are well aware. This is a make or break game for both teams. With both teams 5-3 and 1 game out of first place in their division, this game has tremendous playoff implications. Neither team can afford their 4th loss of the season this early in the season, but 1 team will get it. The Eagles are notorious for playing like crap when they travel on the west coast and I am not to thrilled that they'll have to face a tough Chargers team on the road this week. As an Eagles fan, I just have to leave it at that and hope for a win.
DALLAS COWBOYS -3 @ GREEN BAY PACKERS
The Cowboys are playing tremendous football right now. After starting the season 2-2, they've rattled off 4 straight wins. The Packers have been a huge disappointment lately. Their defense has been getting exposed and I think they have a tough time stopping the Cowboys this week. Tony Romo has been playing at a high level and with their balanced offense, I don't see how the Packers will stop them on 3rd down since Witten has had no problems picking up those 3rd and shorts. The Packers should be able to hang in there with Aaron Rodgers and that impressive Packers passing game, but I think the Cowboys outduel them. The Packers have a ton of issues on the offensive line, so look for the Cowboys to get a ton of sacks, which will get them more time with the football. The Packers gave up 6 sacks to the Bucs last week and they average less than 1.5 sacks a game. Packers DE Aaron Kampman will be out which is a huge blow for them.
Prediction: Cowboys 27 – Packers 20
Free Pick: Cowboys -3 (Confidence: 3.5/5) (L)
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS @ INDIANAPOLIS COLTS -3
I cannot wait for this Sunday Night game. I've been debating whether the Colts or the Patriots will be the one to come out of the AFC. Both offenses have been outstanding, but the Colts offense has been slowing down lately. The Colts have the better defense though. This all comes down to Brady vs. Manning though, and Brady usually gets the best of Manning. Tom Brady is 5-2 in the regular season and 2-1 in the post-season against Manning. With Bob Sanders out, Brady must be smiling. If the Patriots are getting 3 points, I'll take them. I think the Patriots win outright, but if they lose, it is likely by 3. With the Patriots +3 at (-115), I think you see this spread drop to +2.5 by game time.
Prediction: Patriots 27 – Colts 24
Free Pick: Patriots +3 (Confidence: 3/5) (W)
BALTIMORE RAVENS -10.5 @ CLEVELAND BROWNS
The Browns are playing on Monday Night, are you f#@%ing kidding me? The Browns are another home underdog off the bye week, but here's another game where it seems too sweet to pass up on. The Browns average 9.8 PPG. They scored 6 points against the Bears and 3 points against the Packers. How is this team going to score more than 10 points against the Ravens? Maybe being at home on Monday Night will help them, but I just don't see it happening. The Browns rank at the bottom of the league in nearly every category. The Ravens are still averaging 25.8 PPG and the Browns give up 26 PPG. Provided the Ravens score 24 points, which should be no problem against the Browns, the Ravens end up in the money.
Prediction: Ravens 28 – Browns 10
Free Pick: Ravens -10.5 (Confidence: 3.5/5) (W)
TOP 8 SPREADS RANKED BY STRENGTH:
I think you have 8 great spreads to choose from this week. I wanted to note the home teams off the bye week that I picked against. I know I said that I will no longer bet against home teams off the bye week, but I don't see how the Rams or the Browns will benefit from the bye week against the strong teams like the Saints and Ravens. At least I have two excuses for last week. First, we can finally say it now, but the Bengals are legit. Second, the Packers have defensive woes and had a blocked punt returned for a TD that hurt them.
Don't take the rankings too seriously, but that is how I would ranked them. I think all games a pretty even. Pick the spreads that you think are the best.
Key game notes are asterisks because that's how I roll with key information.
1.) Saints -13.5 over RAMS (* Rams are a home team off bye week) (L)
2.) TITANS -6.5 over Bills (* Terrell Owens was listed as questionable, but will play) (W)
3.) Cowboys -3 over PACKERS (* Moved up from #6 to #3 based on DE Kampman being out and Packers pass protection struggles) (L)
4.) Broncos -3.5 over REDSKINS (* Portis and Cooley are out; Backup RB Betts was listed questionable, but will play and will share carries with RB Carolina) (L)
5.) Patriots +3 over COLTS (W)
6.) Ravens -10.5 over BROWNS (* Browns are a home team off bye week; Started off at #3, dropped to #6 due to the high spread) (W)
7.) Falcons -1.5 over PANTHERS (* DeAngelo Williams was listed as questionable, but will play) (L)
8.) JETS -6.5 over Jaguars (L)

On the Road with the Sisters | Purgatory
ewtn, Family, Individual, Parish, School
Today, Sisters Teresa Benedicta and Martin Thérèse share insights into Purgatory, the Church's teachings on it, and miracles, apparitions, and authenticated relics associated with Purgatory and the poor souls.
Sister Martin Thérèse: Purgatory is about temporal punishment due to sin. We all sin. When we die and we're face-to-face with God, we're going to be so aware of our unworthiness that we are going to desire to be purified for our sins, and all the suffering that comes through that, we're actually going to want to experience so that we can be in the presence of God, fully alive, cleansed of all of our sins.
Sister Teresa Benedicta: When I was younger, the image that always came to mind is when we would have guests, mom would go in to "clean the house" mode. All of a sudden, everything stopped and everything had to be immaculate. It's kind of like that with our own souls where we would be uncomfortable in God's Presence if we hadn't cleaned up a little bit of what's there.
One of the prominent things in Catholic culture and in Catholic art is the reality of death. You look at the paintings of the Saints, particularly from the Middle Ages, and there are often skulls in paintings. We don't know the time, but all of us need to be prepared for it because at the moment of death, our life choices that we've made determine our eternity. It was so present, particularly in a world where death was common with plagues and diseases in a way that is not so much for us now because we expect to live longer, but none of us know and all of us should be aware and present to the reality that this life is very short. When you think about eternity, this is a moment in all our future and how we live this moment is so essential.
Sister Martin Thérèse: Why are we here? We're not here for this world. We're here for the next, and death is inevitable for each and every one of us.
Sister Teresa Benedicta: One of the churches that touched me is Chiesa Santa Maria Scala Coeli, the Church of Holy Mary Ladder to Heaven. In the 12th century, St. Bernard of Clairvaux knew where the bodies of slaughtered slaves were buried, and he wanted to pray for the souls of those who'd been killed by Emperor Diocletian.
Sr. Teresa Benedicta praying at Scala Coeli
[The saint of Clairvaux] and the pope of that time offered a requiem Mass on that spot and St. Bernard has a vision in which he sees a ladder ascending from the altar up into heaven and the souls of those who died are accompanied by the angels ascending into heaven, and for him, it was a reminder that after people die, we're still connected in faith and when we pray for people, especially when we offer Mass for the dead, it helps them get to the point where they can see the face of God. Now, in the church they have that picture [of his vision].
Sister, You showed me in Rome the Purgatory Museum, and I'm kind of skeptical. Can you explain some of the things that we saw in the Purgatory Museum?
Sister Martin Thérèse: The museum that I showed you has all of these artifacts left by the poor souls in Purgatory, and I know you're very skeptical about it, but you have to remember what the purpose is: the purpose is to increase the devotion to pray for the poor souls.
Church of the Sacred Heart of Suffrage
Museum of Poor Souls in Purgatory
In the Museum, there are burn marks, primarily hands that have left marks, but probably the most striking one was the deep handprint of a priest on a piece of wood and a cross that he had traced.
A priest who appeared to a nun. He needed prayers, and he appeared to her and asked her to pray for his soul because he was suffering in Purgatory. When he appeared to her, it is said that he had rested his hand on her desk because her desk is where she does all of her work and to remind her, he traced the cross on the desk.
One of my favorites in there is the handprint on a shirtsleeve. The story is that Mrs. Leleux appeared to her son. She had died. Her husband had died previously. On the night of June 21st, his mother appeared to him, and she chastised him for the way he was living his life because he wasn't living a Christian life. She said,
"Your father left you a good sum of money, and he asked you one thing to do with that money and that was to offer Masses for us when we died; for our souls, if we ended up in Purgatory, and you have not done that." While she was speaking, she touched his arm, and you can see the print of her hand on his shirt sleeve now.

Imprint of priest's hand
Sister Teresa Benedicta: That thought makes me uncomfortable, that people I love would appear or would leave burn marks. Why would you not be freaked out by that idea?
Sister Martin Thérèse: The idea of it is scary if you think about it, but I think there's something to the fact that first God's not going to allow anything that we can't handle. You think you think that you can't handle it, but I would think it's the same thing if my mom when she dies if she were to appear to me, I think there'd be a sense of comfort because there's a familiarity. It's my mom. She's the one who raised me, the one who cared for me, so I don't think there would be fear. Now if it was someone who I didn't know, there might be a little!
I think there are a lot of forgotten souls. I think a lot of times there's a danger of canonizing our loved ones when they die, and when we do that, we have to be careful because they might be suffering in Purgatory.
Sister Teresa Benedicta: It's interesting, Sister, I was really moved at Michelangelo's "Last Judgment" in the Sistine Chapel. He portrays, in the lower left corner, the souls in Purgatory. It's interesting because he has the Saints both in Heaven and on Earth, praying for them and through their intercession, you see the souls in Purgatory, both from people on Earth and in Heaven moving from Purgatory into Heaven.
Michelangelo's "Last Judgment" [Sistine Chapel, Vatican City]
God's merciful, so prayer is never wasted. If it doesn't go to Grandma, it'll go to someone else who needs it. It's up to God where He gives it.
Sister Martin Thérèse: I absolutely love our Faith, all the devotions particularly praying for the poor souls in Purgatory, the rosary, offering Masses for them. It's so rich.
Thank you, sister, for all of your research. I love it.
Sister Teresa Benedicta: And thank the poor souls in Purgatory.

Q: Is it a security flaw to log the class and method name when an exception occurs? I have the following :
public class doCheck(){

    public void performCheck(){
        try {
            perform all checks......
        }
        catch(Exception e){
            logger.error("Exception occured in class doCheck in method performCheck");
            thrown new MyNewException(e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Is it safe to log the class and method name?

A: That depends on whether your code base is hidden or not. If you ship the product to the client then he can inspect the Java byte code trivially anyway, so logging class names doesn't reveal any information the user cannot get anyway.
For a server-side application, this is still true. However, it may be a security hole to display such logs to the client. That's why most web application frameworks distinguish between a development and production configuration: during development, debug information is displayed to the user in the case of an error. In production, this information is logged on the server, but no longer displayed in the web browser / to the client.

A: @Konrad answered the direct question, however your exception handling has one minor and two serious problems. Since you originally posted to codereview.SE, here they are:

*

*Logging an exception before throwing is pointless. Log it where you handle it, and don't bother catching it if you don't plan to handle ti.

*If you're going to log an exception, log the exception; don't simply say "an exception happened" and expect people to guess what the exception is. All common logging frameworks provide a two-argument method: the first is the message, the second is the throwable.

*Rethrowing an exception with just a message is the same problem but a worse instance. I can understand (barely) why you might not want an exception stack trace to show up in your logs. But once you throw the new exception, you have absolutely no way to tell what the real problem is. Especially if you keep up the habit of catching and rethrowing.

OK, I'm going to add a fourth issue: you log where the exception happened, but you don't say what you were doing when it happened, or give any contextual information. If you log the actual exception (point #1), you'll know where it happened. More important is saying something like "unable to open file foo.txt".

A: It's not particularly unsafe, so unless there's anything critical that you'd want to hide in this class or if the class is part of a critical path (like a secure handshake or "hidden" feature), I wouldn't consider this an issue at all.
Furthermore, we're talking about Java here. So if we're talking about a client-side app running Java on the client, they can always modify their JRE to use add their own debugging routines and/or use a custom classloader and access your classes pretty much any way they want to. Making it harder for them (by way of hiding stuff deeper, or even obfuscating code) is always a possibility, but it usually isn't cost-effective when you consider the time and effort needed to achieve this against the loss caused by statistically improbable malicious users.
If we're talking about a server-side piece of software that may output logs to clients (say, to the user's browser), then it probably isn't too big a deal, but it's already more straightforward to fix: configure your container accordingly, and use a logging framework or multiplexer to output to appropriate files on the server for debugging purposes instead. This way you retain useful records for debugging but don't compromise potentially useful information.
But in general, this probably wouldn't be a problem. it's more what you put in the debug message that could be an issue, as we often tend as developers to output things we work on (you don't want to leave these debug outputs for usernames, passwords, salts and security tokens in clear view).

Coming together to tackle the global crisis of non-communicable diseases
Partnerships between healthcare stakeholders are key to developing a sustainable healthcare system for NCD care.

04 Feb 2020 05:18PM (Updated: 14 Feb 2020 10:44AM)
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are one of the biggest public healthcare issues of our time. The cost of inaction in dealing with this problem has been estimated at US$47 trillion (S$64 trillion) by the World Health Organization (WHO). According to WHO, some 71 per cent of deaths annually are the result of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
NCDs are complex to address and solutions need to strike a balance between quality healthcare, good patient outcomes and managing budgets. There is a need for various groups – from healthcare institutions and patient groups to policymakers – to collaborate to find solutions.
Dr Amrit Ray, global president (Research, Development and Medical) at Pfizer Upjohn, delivering the welcome address at the Partnerships for Change Summit.
"For a crisis as complex as chronic diseases, no one can afford to be a bystander and no one can solve it alone. That's why at Pfizer Upjohn, we believe in standing up together with our partners to take action and make a difference," said Dr Amrit Ray, global president (Research, Development and Medical) at Pfizer Upjohn.
Pfizer Upjohn is poised to help relieve the global burden of NCDs by making trusted, quality health solutions available with an ambitious objective to reach 225 million more patients by 2025. To achieve this goal, they are committed to build and strengthen meaningful partnerships across academia, medical and patient associations, policy makers and influencers to develop a sustainable healthcare ecosystem for NCD care across emerging markets.
PARTNERSHIPS FOR CHANGE
As part of its strategy to deal with NCDs, Pfizer Upjohn hosted the first-of-its kind Partnerships for Change Summit in Singapore last month. The event aimed to gather insights for partnership strategies and showcase best practices in NCD management from countries across ASEAN, Latin America and Africa and the Middle East.
The summit featured 14 partner organisations representing medical and professional societies, academic institutions, patient organisations and the private sector. The organisations include the International Alliance of Patients' Organizations (IAPO), Duke-NUS Medical School and even an airline, Emirates. At the summit, each organisation showcased its efforts in partnership with Pfizer Upjohn in tackling NCDs, ranging from health literacy efforts to practice improvement programmes.
From left: Ms Linda Bedran, global lead of Corporate Affairs at Pfizer Upjohn; Dr Ratna Devi, board chair, IAPO; and Dr Amrit Ray, global president (Research, Development and Medical) at Pfizer Upjohn, at the IAPO-Pfizer Upjohn partnership signing ceremony.
For instance, IAPO, whose mission is to help build patient-centred healthcare worldwide, and Pfizer Upjohn have signed a letter of intent to work together to understand the patient voice, explore advocacy opportunities and amplify the impact along the patient journey.
"We cannot overcome the burden of NCDs alone. The patients' lived experience and journey is not linear," said Dr Ratna Devi, board chair, IAPO.
Meanwhile, Duke-NUS offers programmes aimed at enhancing the capabilities of NCD researchers and programme directors. In light of their similar missions, Pfizer Upjohn and Duke University, Singapore, are collaborating to improve the capability development of researchers and policy makers in ASEAN. Apart from capability building, the partnership will focus on generating real-world evidence on NCDs and expanding research expertise in the region.
"NCDs are an important issue and it's difficult to make policy decisions because of their complexity. The curriculum being supported by the partnership is allowing policymakers to better understand how to use real-world evidence in support of informed policy," said Professor David Matchar, Programme in Health Services and Systems Research at Duke-NUS Medical School.
LEADING THE CONVERSATION
23 delegates from Asean, Latin America, Africa and Middle East countries attended the Partnerships for Change Summit.
The implementation of strategies to deal with NCDs remains a challenge, whether in the area of manpower issues, real-world data acquisition or policy execution. The Partnerships for Change initiative led by Pfizer Upjohn is a significant step towards tackling this urgent healthcare issue.
"With the aspiration to address public health challenges caused by NCDs, Upjohn strives to design and empower local sustainable partnerships that expand access to quality healthcare solutions. We aim to be solutions providers beyond the pill and move the healthcare system from sick care to real healthcare," said Ms Linda Bedran, global lead of Corporate Affairs at Pfizer Upjohn.
"As we embark together on this journey, we believe partnerships can make more impact on patients and we feel very committed to lead the conversation and drive change."

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink joins Cardiff City – hit or miss?
Eddie Murphy impersonator, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, has teamed up with Robbie Fowler at Cardiff City in what would have once been a dream partnership in the Premier League.
The 35-year-old with the crazy eyes has been without a club since being released by Charlton at the end of the season.
'I do not think anyone would have believed going into the close season it would be possible to get players like them,' said chairman Peter Ridsdale on the club's website.
Between them they have scored 289 Premier League goals but do they have enough left in their ageing lockers to bring success to Cardiff?
JFH is a bit of a mercenary, and he's definitely a spent force – that said, he'll be playing against lower quality defences, so he could have a field day.
Stop moaning and look forward to watching some geniuses at work, be they old or not. Who would have thought that the bluebirds would have bee fielding players such as this???!
Together with such a talented and eager squad who last season when on fire were unbeatable.
It will breed confidence, a kick up the arse, priceless expertise and will fill the house.
he wanted £40k a week from Leicester so i'm guessing he's on similar at Cardiff.
What with all the trouble Ridsdale constantly finds (lands?) himself in, they'll be lucky to even have a goldfish left at the end of the season.
Perhaps his ingenious tactic of whacking the ball at goal as hard as he can from wherever he happens to be standing when he receives it may work better in the lower division. More than likely he will start whining or get injured before long and wander off AWOL.
Definatly a hit, with him a fowler we could be looking at promotion.

Canberra, as the Nation's capital, is home to many of the national institutions that service the federal system of government and legislation. The ACT is serviced by its own courts.
The ACT operates the following courts:
The Supreme Court which hears the most serious criminal cases, including murder and serious drug offences and civil matters involving amounts of more than $250,000. It also hears appeals from the Magistrates Court and the Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
Criminal matters in the Supreme Court may be heard by a judge alone or by a judge with a jury. Civil matters are heard by a judge alone. The Supreme Court also includes the Court of Appeal which hears appeals from decisions of single judges of the Supreme Court. The Court of Appeal generally consists of three judges.
The Magistrates Court deals with less serious criminal cases and civil matters involving amounts of less than $250,000. It also has a number of other jurisdictions such as workers compensation and fair trading matters. The Magistrates Court is presided over by a single magistrate in both criminal and civil matters.
The Childrens Court deals with criminal cases involving defendants under 18 years of age and matters relating to the care of children and young people under the age of 18 years. The Childrens Court is part of the Magistrates Court.
The Coroners Court is responsible for inquiring into the cause and manner of a person's death where a person dies in certain specified circumstances, such as where a person dies by drowning and where there are suspicious circumstances. It also inquires into the cause of fires that destroy or damage property and, if requested to do so by the Attorney-General, it inquires into the cause and origins of a disaster. It operates as part of the Magistrates Court.
The Galambany Court is a specialised court for Aboriginal offenders, within the ACT Magistrates Court.
ACT Courts are administered by the Justice and Community Safety Directorate. Other courts operating in the ACT are administered by the Commonwealth Government.

Direct Savings to give staff Referendum day off
By Dannielle Noonan -
A SCOTTISH company is giving its staff the day off on September 18 to vote in the independence referendum.
Direct Savings, an energy efficiency company based in Bathgate, West Lothian, is believed to be the first business in the country to make the move.
All 55 staff have been given a holiday to encourage them to cast their vote – but the managing director insists he doesn't mind which side they back.
Both the Yes Scotland and Better Together campaigns have given their support to the decision.
Jed Smith, Managing Director of Direct Savings, has called on other companies in Scotland to follow his lead and do the same.
He said: "I'd be keen to see other companies follow our initiative. In fact, perhaps there is an argument for public sector organisations to make the decision to close also on September 18?"
He added: "This is a huge decision for the country and it's absolutely essential everyone gets their say on Scotland's future.
"The polls will be open for a long time on the day and there are other options like postal votes, but sometimes people's plans fall through.
"We think by giving the full day off we can minimise these potential issues."
An SNP spokesman added: "The chance to vote for an independent Scotland is the biggest opportunity people will ever have to ensure that the great wealth of our country works better for everyone who lives here, and that never again will Tory governments Scotland has rejected be foisted on us.
"The decision by Direct Savings reflects the importance of the vote, but of course it is for each and every company to decide what if anything it wants to do."
Scottish Conservative chief whip John Lamont warned against other businesses following suit.
He said: "Of course private companies can give days off to staff whenever they please, and I'm glad they're encouraging employees to vote.
"However, we can't have the whole country shutting down on September 18.
"Polls are open from 7am until 10pm, so flexibility is already very much built into the system, while the option of postal voting is available too."
